0:00:10 > 0:00:12Evening all.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Welcome to our final Today at Conference here at the Labour
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Party Conference in Liverpool.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21A day in which Jeremy Corbyn revelled in his re-election
0:00:21 > 0:00:23as Labour leader and promised the party faithful socialism
0:00:23 > 0:00:26for the 21st century.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29The Labour conference lapped it up.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32How the wider electorate will see it is another matter.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Mr Corbyn thinks he could soon face a snap election.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38He promised more homes, more jobs, more public investment,
0:00:38 > 0:00:43but not more controls on immigration.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46He said the ten point programme for power that had re-elected him
0:00:46 > 0:00:50as leader would form the basis of Labour's next manifesto.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53But he made few concessions to his critics despite calling
0:00:53 > 0:00:56for an end to party trench warfare.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59We were there to find out what the party faithful made of it all.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Absolutely brilliant, inspiring, we're going
0:01:00 > 0:01:02to win the next election.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Mr Corbyn is now undisputed leader of his party, even if many centrists
0:01:09 > 0:01:15find that hard to stomach.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19It was clear today that he wanted to stamp his authority on Labour,
0:01:19 > 0:01:24but he didn't offer any olive branches to his opponents.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Thank you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:33Thank you so much for that welcome and that introduction.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35This hall is absolutely packed here today in Liverpool,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39we've even got an overspill down the road.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45I want to say thank you to everyone that's here today.
0:01:45 > 0:01:51But I've got to slightly correct myself because I did say the hall
0:01:51 > 0:01:52is completely packed.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Well I got a message on the way in from Virgin Trains.
0:01:57 > 0:02:05They have assured me there are 800 empty seats in the hall.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Let me also pay particular tribute to those parliamentary colleagues
0:02:08 > 0:02:12who stepped forward in the summer to fill the gaps
0:02:12 > 0:02:22in the Shadow Cabinet...
0:02:23 > 0:02:26...and ensure that Labour can function as an effective
0:02:26 > 0:02:30opposition in Parliament.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33They actually didn't seek office but they stepped up when their party
0:02:33 > 0:02:40and in fact the country needed them to serve.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42They all deserve the respect and gratitude of our party and movement.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44And this conference should thank them today.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48They are our future.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50In the May elections we overtook the Tories to become
0:02:50 > 0:02:53the largest party nationally.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56We won back London with a massive win for Sadiq Khan,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59the first Muslim mayor of Western capital city.
0:02:59 > 0:03:08My congratulations, Sadiq, for that incredible win.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Since the crash of 2008, the demand for an alternative
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and an end to counter-productive austerity has led to the rise
0:03:15 > 0:03:17of new movements and parties.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20In one country after another.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24But in Britain it's happened in a different way.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27In the heart of traditional politics in the Labour Party
0:03:27 > 0:03:37which is something we should be extremely proud of.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's exactly what Labour was founded for, to be the voice of the many.
0:03:41 > 0:03:51Social justice and progressive change from the bottom up.
0:03:52 > 0:03:58But it also means it's no good harking back to the tired
0:03:58 > 0:04:02old economic and political fixes of 20 and 30 years ago
0:04:02 > 0:04:03because they won't work any more.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08The old model is broken.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11We are in a new era that demands a politics and economics
0:04:11 > 0:04:14that meets the needs of our own time.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18So Labour is offering solutions.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21During this summer's leadership campaign I set out ten pledges
0:04:21 > 0:04:24which I believed could be the platform of our party's
0:04:24 > 0:04:29programme at the next election.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30They were put to conference yesterday.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35They lay out the scope of the change we need to see.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39For full employment, a homes guarantee,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42security at work, a strong public National Health Service and social
0:04:42 > 0:04:46care, a national education service for all, action on climate change,
0:04:46 > 0:04:52public ownership or control of our services, a cut in inequality
0:04:52 > 0:04:56of income and wealth, action to secure an equal society,
0:04:56 > 0:05:06and peace and justice at the heart of our foreign policy.
0:05:07 > 0:05:14Don't worry, don't worry conference, they're not the Ten Commandments.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18I haven't come down from the mountain with them.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21They are here already, and they will now of course go
0:05:21 > 0:05:23to the national policy forum, and the whole party
0:05:23 > 0:05:28needs to build on them.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29All our brilliant members have ideas.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32The speech was long on aspiration and short on detail but that's
0:05:32 > 0:05:36pretty much the hallmark of all party conference speeches.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42This was all he had to say about a massive increase in public
0:05:42 > 0:05:43borrowing to finance investment.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46If the Tories are the party of cuts and short termism,
0:05:46 > 0:05:55Labour is the party of investing for the future.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00With the same level of investment as other major economies,
0:06:00 > 0:06:06we could be so much more.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Unlock so much skill, ingenuity and wealth.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10That's why we'll establish a national investment bank
0:06:10 > 0:06:13at the heart of our plan to rebuild and transform this country.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16And we will borrow to invest at historically low interest rates
0:06:16 > 0:06:17to generate far greater returns.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21It would be foolish not to.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Because that investment is expanding the economy and the income it
0:06:24 > 0:06:29generates for us all in the process.
0:06:29 > 0:06:36Even this government, after years of austerities
0:06:36 > 0:06:38and savage cuts, is starting to change its tune.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I'm not content with accepting second class broadband.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Not content with creaking railways.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Not content with seeing the United States and Germany
0:06:47 > 0:06:52investing in cutting-edge and green technologies while we lag behind.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57That's why we've set out proposals for a national investment bank
0:06:57 > 0:07:01with ?500 billion of investment to bring our broadband,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03our railways, our housing and our energy infrastructure
0:07:03 > 0:07:13up to scratch.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18A country that doesn't invest is a country that's given up,
0:07:18 > 0:07:24that has taken the path of managed decline.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29A Labour government will never accept second best for this country.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35We are a wealthy country, and not just in terms of money.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37We are rich in talent, which in potential.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39That's why we proposed a comprehensive national education
0:07:39 > 0:07:43service at the heart of our programme for government,
0:07:43 > 0:07:53to deliver high quality education for all throughout our lives.
0:07:58 > 0:08:06Education has always been a core Labour value,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09from the time of Alan Wilkinson the MP for Jarrow and later
0:08:09 > 0:08:11education Minister and before that.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13And a national education service will be an essential part
0:08:13 > 0:08:17of the 21st century welfare state.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22In a rapidly changing economy people need to retrain or upgrade their
0:08:22 > 0:08:24skills without falling into debt.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Britain already lags behind others in productivity.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Partly that's about investing in technology and infrastructure,
0:08:31 > 0:08:39and partly it's about investing in people and their skills.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41So today I'm offering business a new settlement.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43A new deal to rebuild Britain.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49Under labour we will provide investment to rebuild
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Britain's infrastructure.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52We will fund that investment because it will lead
0:08:52 > 0:08:54to a more productive economy, providing the basis
0:08:54 > 0:08:57on which our economy and our businesses can thrive.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Helping to provide over a million good jobs
0:09:01 > 0:09:09and opportunities for businesses.
0:09:09 > 0:09:16But investment in capital must include investment in human capital.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18The skilled workers needed to make our economy a success.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20So this is the deal Labour will offer to business.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24To help pay for a national education service, we will ask you to pay
0:09:24 > 0:09:25a little more in tax.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27We've already started to set out some of this,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30pledging to raise corporation tax by less than 1.5% to give
0:09:30 > 0:09:32an education maintenance allowance to college students,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34grants to university students, so that every young learner can
0:09:34 > 0:09:36afford to support themselves as they develop skills
0:09:36 > 0:09:45and get qualifications.
0:09:45 > 0:09:55As politicians, as political activists, as citizens,
0:09:55 > 0:09:59we have zero tolerance towards those who whip up hate and division.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Stand together against racism, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism.
0:10:00 > 0:10:10And defend those being demonised.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17It's been shaming to our multicultural society that assaults
0:10:17 > 0:10:22on migrants have increased sharply since the referendum campaign.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25A campaign that peddled myths and whipped up division.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It isn't migrants that drive down wages, it's exploitative employers
0:10:27 > 0:10:29and the politicians who deregulate the labour market and rip
0:10:29 > 0:10:39up trade union rights.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45It isn't migrants who put a strain on our National Health Service,
0:10:45 > 0:10:50it only keeps going because of the migrant nurses and doctors
0:10:50 > 0:10:52who come here, filling the gaps left by politicians who failed
0:10:52 > 0:10:58to invest in training.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01It isn't migrants that have caused the housing crisis,
0:11:01 > 0:11:11it's a Tory government that has failed to build homes.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Immigration can certainly put extra pressure on services.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19That's why under Gordon Brown Labour set up the migrant impact fund,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22to provide extra funding to communities that have the largest
0:11:22 > 0:11:27rises in populations.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Good plan, very effective.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29What did the Tories do?
0:11:29 > 0:11:30They abolished it.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36Then they demonised the migrants for putting pressure on services.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38A Labour government will not offer false promises on immigration has
0:11:38 > 0:11:45the Tories have done.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48We will not sow division by fanning the flames of fear.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50We will tackle the real issues of immigration instead.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Whatever the eventual outcome of Brexit negotiations,
0:11:52 > 0:11:53and make the changes needed.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55We will act decisively to end the undercutting
0:11:55 > 0:11:57of workers pay and conditions through the exploitation of migrant
0:11:57 > 0:12:00labour and agency working, which would reduce the number
0:12:00 > 0:12:09of migrant workers in the process.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14And we will ease the pressure on hard-pressed public services that
0:12:14 > 0:12:17are struggling to absorb Tory austerity cuts in communities
0:12:17 > 0:12:22absorbing new populations.
0:12:22 > 0:12:28Labour will reinstate the migrant impact fund and give extra support
0:12:28 > 0:12:30to areas of high migration using the visa levy
0:12:30 > 0:12:33for its intended purpose.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35And we'll add a citizenship application fee levy.
0:12:35 > 0:12:42That is the Labour way to tackle social tension.
0:12:42 > 0:12:49Investment in assistance, not racism and division.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Everyone of us in the Labour Party is motivated by the gap
0:12:53 > 0:13:03between what our country is and what it could be.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10We know that in the sixth largest economy in the world the food banks,
0:13:10 > 0:13:14stunted life chances, growing poverty alongside wealth
0:13:14 > 0:13:17on an undreamt of scale are the mark of a shameful and totally
0:13:17 > 0:13:27unnecessary failure.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31We know how great this country could be for all its people
0:13:31 > 0:13:36with a new political and economic settlement.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38With new forms of democratic public ownership driven by investment
0:13:38 > 0:13:42in the technology and industries of the future.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44With decent jobs, education and housing for all.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46With local services run by and for people, not outsourced
0:13:46 > 0:13:51to faceless corporations.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54This is not backward looking, this is the very opposite.
0:13:54 > 0:14:03It's the socialism of the 21st-century.
0:14:03 > 0:14:10Our job is now to win over the unconvinced of our vision.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Only that way can we secure the Labour government we need.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16And let's be frank, no one will be convinced of the vision promoted
0:14:16 > 0:14:17by a divided party.
0:14:17 > 0:14:24We all agree on that.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25So I ask...
0:14:25 > 0:14:31So I ask each and everyone of you to accept the decision of the members.
0:14:31 > 0:14:41End the trench warfare and work together to take on the Tories.
0:14:41 > 0:14:41We could also face a general election next year.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53Whatever the Prime Minister says about snap elections,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56there is every chance Theresa May will cut and run for
0:14:56 > 0:14:57an early election.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59So today we put ourselves on notice.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Labour is preparing for a general election in 2017.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Everyone here and everyone of our hundreds of thousands
0:15:10 > 0:15:13of members has something to contribute to our cause.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16That's why we will unite, build on our policies,
0:15:16 > 0:15:21take our vision out to a country crying out for change.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26We are half a million of us and there will be many more,
0:15:26 > 0:15:32working together to make our country the place it could be.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Conference, united we can shape the future and build
0:15:36 > 0:15:39a fairer Britain in a peaceful world.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Thank you.
0:15:43 > 0:15:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:16:07 > 0:16:10So what did his own troops make of it all?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14As always, we sent Adam to make a nusiance of himself by ambushing
0:16:14 > 0:16:16people as they left the hall.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17What did you think of the speech?
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Absolutely brilliant, inspiring.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20We're going to win the next election.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Left you with butterflies in the stomach?
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Oh, absolutely, yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Didn't it you?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26No comment.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Was there a message or a storyline that he was talking about?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I think it was a fairer society.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33You know, somebody who works in the NHS,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35we see the inequality, you know, and we see
0:16:35 > 0:16:36the need for reinvestment.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38He says the right things and the people responded
0:16:38 > 0:16:40to that very positively.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42So, keep the fingers crossed.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Yep.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44I thought it was very good.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47It was very good and it covered loads of things that everybody
0:16:47 > 0:16:49is really feeling passionate about and I'm one of
0:16:49 > 0:16:51the many thousands who's come back to the Labour
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Party.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53OK.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Madam, what did you think of the speech?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Do you think he addressed some of the problems he had to address?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02I think it's given us a very, very clear platform now to go out,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04out into our communities, and fight for this country and equality.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Have we got any Owen Smith supporters who were won
0:17:07 > 0:17:08over by Jeremy today?
0:17:08 > 0:17:09I'm one.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Yeah.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I think Jeremy's going forward and now we're addressing
0:17:12 > 0:17:15the concerns of the country and the party, so I think we can
0:17:15 > 0:17:18rebuild and build a Britain that we all want to see.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Who was really inspired by the speech?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20No, not at all.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21I was very disappointed.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22What was the problem?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I think, for me, there was an awful lot of talking about what's
0:17:25 > 0:17:26problematic, what's wrong.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29There was a lot of saying, great, let's change that and why
0:17:29 > 0:17:32we should change that, but I'm still waiting to hear how
0:17:32 > 0:17:33we're going to change that.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I think there was an opportunity - We're going to change it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37How?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39He talked about the changes to the companies that
0:17:39 > 0:17:41are going to make a contribution to improve education.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46He talked about that we're going to be more welcoming of people
0:17:46 > 0:17:48coming into this country.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50He talked about building more houses.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53He talked about a bank that is going to invest
0:17:53 > 0:17:56in the country.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57He's talking all the practical things.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59How can you say, it's got everything except...
0:17:59 > 0:18:02We're going to get out there, I hope you as well, and we're
0:18:02 > 0:18:04going to persuade people that what he's saying
0:18:04 > 0:18:06is absolutely right.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It's about the needs of the many, not the few.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12It's not the Tories, who are just interested in a few.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14But what are we going to do?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I told you what he's going to do.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19We'll let you carry on that discussion later on.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21So trench warfare hasn't quite been extinguished among the troops,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23but what about the officer class?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I asked Unite leader, Len McCloskey, which speech he preferred -
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Jeremy Corbyn's or Deputy Leader Tom Watson's?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Jeremy Corbyn's, Tom's speech was about yesteryear's politics.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I think what we seen today was a leader, somebody who spelt out
0:18:37 > 0:18:40a vision and a vision that is desperately needed
0:18:40 > 0:18:43in our country, and that call for unity and what Labour can
0:18:43 > 0:18:46achieve, when we are together, I thought was very powerful
0:18:46 > 0:18:49and very inspiring.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Where did your attack on Tom Watson's speech
0:18:51 > 0:18:52though fit into the call for unity?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54What attack?
0:18:54 > 0:18:58A critique, an opinion that says I thought Tom was going back -
0:18:58 > 0:19:01You said he was confused, the right-wing of the Labour Party.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06..that it was going back to the third way of Blairism.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07That was for a different era.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I said that that really is not a vision any more.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14So, of course, it is about...
0:19:14 > 0:19:20Jeremy's asked us to wipe the slate clean and perhaps to unite.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Perhaps, I need to be careful about my rhetoric as well, Andrew.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Well, don't we all at times.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Let me ask you this.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Do you think that the Parliamentary Labour Party needs to change
0:19:28 > 0:19:31to reflect more the kind of Labour Party that Mr Corbyn
0:19:31 > 0:19:33was outlining in his speech today?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I think that's a great question and the answer to that is, yes.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40When you're a representative of a party, you have to understand
0:19:40 > 0:19:42if the party is changing.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46I'm sure that the vast majority of the Plp will recognise
0:19:46 > 0:19:49that the party's changed, that there is a vision
0:19:49 > 0:19:51and a commitment there and I think they'll come back
0:19:51 > 0:19:56to support the leader and, effectively, support the membership
0:19:56 > 0:19:59that put them there.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01The morning provided a couple of warm-up acts
0:20:01 > 0:20:04for the Labour leader, the agenda was home affairs.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07So we heard from Richard Burgon, Andy Burnham and Yvette Cooper.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Let me turn to my Conservative opponent,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13also from Leeds, Liz Truss.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16It's fair to say that her appointment as Justice Secretary
0:20:16 > 0:20:19wasn't universally welcomed.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Many said that as another non-lawyer in the role she didn't fulfil
0:20:23 > 0:20:27the legislative requirement for a person qualified
0:20:27 > 0:20:30by experience.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Others criticised her for being loyal to her party leader -
0:20:32 > 0:20:38although there's nothing wrong with that, but what I will...
0:20:38 > 0:20:40APPLAUSE
0:20:40 > 0:20:45..but what I will criticise Liz Truss for, Conference,
0:20:45 > 0:20:50is voting for legal aid cuts, for prioritising our
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Probation Service and for closing down the courts we need to deliver
0:20:53 > 0:20:56justice in our country.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02Immigration and asylum are different, too often this
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Government treats them as though they are the same.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08We won't use fear on immigration as reason not to help
0:21:08 > 0:21:09those most in need.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13We won't call people swarms or hoards when they are mothers,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16fathers and children and we will never EVER do
0:21:16 > 0:21:19what Nigel Farage did in the referendum campaign and use
0:21:19 > 0:21:23a poster of desperate refugees to stoke fear and hatred.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26That man should be ashamed.
0:21:26 > 0:21:32APPLAUSE
0:21:32 > 0:21:35So if ever you despair at the state of our politics or even
0:21:35 > 0:21:38the divisions you think there are in our party,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41if ever you think of walking away, if ever you want to know why
0:21:41 > 0:21:46so many of us carry on, if you've ever have any doubts,
0:21:46 > 0:21:55think of those children we can help.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Of the amazing things that we can do together.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58The amazing people we can help.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00The amazing things that Labour can do.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Conference, that is what our politics
0:22:01 > 0:22:03is all about.
0:22:03 > 0:22:03Thank you.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05APPLAUSE
0:22:05 > 0:22:08This is my tenth conference speaking to you as a Cabinet
0:22:08 > 0:22:11or a Shadow Cabinet Minister and it will be my last.
0:22:11 > 0:22:19Was that a cheer I heard?!
0:22:19 > 0:22:24It is time for me to turn my full focus to Greater Manchester.
0:22:24 > 0:22:30That's why I can tell you all, first today, that I've
0:22:30 > 0:22:34asked Jeremy to plan for a new Shadow Cabinet without me,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38although I will of course stay until it is in place.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41It has been my privilege to represent our great party over
0:22:41 > 0:22:46these last 10 years, but at times the last 12 months have
0:22:46 > 0:22:50made me profoundly sad.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55Sad to hear the achievements of our government, our Labour
0:22:55 > 0:22:57government, in which I was proud to serve, being dismissed
0:22:57 > 0:22:59as if they were nothing.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Sad that old friendships have been strained.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06APPLAUSE
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Sad that some seem to prefer fighting each other
0:23:09 > 0:23:11than fighting the Tories.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14I have given my all to this party.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I've always put its interests above those of factions
0:23:16 > 0:23:19and personalities.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I have given exactly the same loyalty to all four of the Labour
0:23:22 > 0:23:26leaders that I have had the privilege to serve.
0:23:26 > 0:23:34APPLAUSE
0:23:34 > 0:23:37So let us unite.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43Let's have an end to divisive talk about deselections but, in return,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46let's have more respect for the democratic will
0:23:46 > 0:23:49of you, our members.
0:23:49 > 0:23:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:23:56 > 0:23:59This party must fully face up to this fact -
0:23:59 > 0:24:03millions of life-long Labour supporters voted to leave the EU
0:24:03 > 0:24:07and, let's be honest, they voted for change on immigration.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11We haven't yet even begun to show them that we understand why
0:24:11 > 0:24:15and I don't want to hear this party make the patronising
0:24:15 > 0:24:18argument that people didn't understand their referendum vote.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22They understood it very well.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25The truth is, the EU was working better for some parts of our country
0:24:25 > 0:24:28than it was for others.
0:24:28 > 0:24:37APPLAUSE
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Out there there's a demand for big changes in the way
0:24:40 > 0:24:41this country is run.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44This party should be the voice for that change.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47That is why I am ready to leave Westminster.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50It's time to make a change, to challenge the status
0:24:50 > 0:24:53quo from the outside.
0:24:53 > 0:25:02APPLAUSE
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Winning the party leadership is one thing, being regarded as Prime
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Ministerial is entirely a higher bar.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10So we sent our Adam out to find out if people really did see Jeremy
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Corbyn as a future Prime Minister.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Questions don't come bigger than this -
0:25:13 > 0:25:16is Jeremy Corbyn going to be the next Prime Minister - yes or no?
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Absolutely.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Definitely, 100%?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19100%.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Nothing is going to get in his way?
0:25:21 > 0:25:22I hope not.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23OK, go-ahead then.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Can't say more decisive than that.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Thank you very much.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29We now just have to get out there, the feet are going to get
0:25:29 > 0:25:30hammered, lots of...
0:25:30 > 0:25:32You've got new trainers on already, I see.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Ready to go.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35That's how I survive conference, in trainers, honestly!
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Well, why did you vote no?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Well, Because I still think he hasn't shown the leadership
0:25:39 > 0:25:40what he needs to show.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41What, winning two leadership elections?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44No, leadership.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Unifying the party and leading the party to changing.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48No from me.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49No?
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Definitely.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51OK.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Is that the done thing at this conference, to doubt
0:25:53 > 0:25:54the dear leader?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Yes.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Yes, if you doubt it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Yes.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59You feel you're allowed to do that?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I'm old enough to know what I'm talking about.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I think the media's undermined him too much and people have lost
0:26:04 > 0:26:05confidence in his abilities.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Well, on the Daily Politics, we're scrupulously fair.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Well, yeah, I'm not saying the BBC, I'm saying the papers more.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13If he's not Prime Minister, how will you feel?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Gutted because it'll mean we've still got the Tories.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Yeah, for another five years, in four years?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I know, I know.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It's not worth thinking about it.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It's horrific.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28What's it going to be like, Jeremy Corbyn standing on the steps
0:26:28 > 0:26:31of Downing Street having just won an election?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I'd think, this is the start of an excellent new future.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35We've got some Labour conference specials.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37We've got Jeremy Corbyn cufflinks and some Labour Party
0:26:37 > 0:26:39cufflinks as well.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Look at that, Jeremy Corbyn as Che Guevara on your wrists.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48How much does a "Jeremy for PM" badge cost?
0:26:48 > 0:26:4960 pence.
0:26:49 > 0:26:5060 pence.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52That's a bargain.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54My brother's called Jeremy, he's a Tory voter, so I'm
0:26:54 > 0:26:56going to send it to him.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59There you go, thank you very much.
0:26:59 > 0:27:05Pop a ball in, it doesn't cost 60p, it's free.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It's not a pub quiz, it's not a pub quiz!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I don't even know what it is, I'm not doing it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12She says no to the balls.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Bye.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15You're meant to be Shadow Foreign Secretary,
0:27:15 > 0:27:16that's not very diplomatic.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Peter, we're doing the Daily Politics balls,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22is Jeremy going to be the next Prime Minister - yes or no?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Just looked at me bemused.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Right, you've managed to avoid the Daily Politics
0:27:27 > 0:27:28balls all week.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29OK.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Is Jeremy Corbyn going to be the next Prime Minister?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Of course he is, of course, he is.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Definitely?
0:27:35 > 0:27:36That's an easy one.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39How come the polls suggest that's really not going to happen?
0:27:39 > 0:27:40Now you're asking me tricky questions.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I've done your poll.
0:27:42 > 0:27:42OK, fine.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45He's just going to put a ball in and that's all.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Well, Tom Watson had the final ball after managing to evade us all week.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51He went with the majority of people at this conference saying, yes,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Jeremy Corbyn will be the next Prime Minister.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Although, look at all those noes.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59And, that's your lot from Liverpool.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Team Corbyn will have its work cut out to flesh out its policies quick
0:28:02 > 0:28:05time if it really thinks an election is just round the corner
0:28:05 > 0:28:09and all the time there will be that continuing power struggle
0:28:09 > 0:28:12on the National Executive Committee.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Next stop, Birmingham and the Tories, who have party
0:28:15 > 0:28:19struggles of their own to fight, especially over Brexit.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22We'll be live from Birmingham on Sunday morning at 11.00am
0:28:22 > 0:28:25with the Sunday Politics, then three days of the Daily Politics
0:28:25 > 0:28:27and Today at Conference.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29You know you won't want to miss that.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32In the meantime, enjoy this burst of the Red Flag.
0:28:32 > 0:28:39Nighty night, comrades.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41# So raise the scarlet standard high
0:28:41 > 0:28:44# Beneath it's folds we'll live and die
0:28:44 > 0:28:50# Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
0:28:50 > 0:28:52# We'll keep the red flag flying here.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56# Flying here #.
